Rodrigo Arboleda spoke about OLPC at TEDxRio this week to a crowd of almost 1000, with 7000 people watching online. The conference was a big hit in the Brazilian blogosphere, and one of the top trending topics in the world that day. TEDx has really captured the essence of TED without much of the overhead, and it's great to see it flourishing.

The talk will be up online soon, and you should watch it; for now, here is a photo of one of the children in attendance at the event.
